Contrada Chiappemacine is a dmall domain at 550mt a.s.l., produces full-mouthed wines because this cru lays on the last outreach of Mount Etna's lava, that turns thin and shares the vines' roots with the limestone bed below.

Contrada Guardiola is an old domain between 800 m and 1000 m asl, that was almost lost to the 1947's eruption. It produces complex wines with rich flavours, typically of marzipan, orange and crying red fruit.

Gradually picked from vineyards on the flank of the vulcano, starting with the lowest, at 500 mt. a.s.l. and finishing at 1000 mt, at Guardiola. The wine is kind and young and very subtle; its powers are hidden; time in bottle will be bringing them out for a long time.
